Looks like the dummy on the scooter is about to be marmalised.

Dummy indeed.  Standing on the scooter the wrong way round.

I am not a fan of all this autonomous driving nonsense.  Supposed gain in less accidents is paid for by loss of work for drivers.

Vancouver unveiled a driverless passenger train system in 1985. But then criminals and junkies flocked to it, driving away many passengers, particularly young women, who felt unprotected. So the city had to create a new train police force to constantly patrol the trains and stations.

So any cost savings from driverless systems is doubtful. Mind you, Singapore has hardly any scary, dangerous people, because it puts them in prison, whereas permissive Canada rarely does to criminals, and junkies get support rather than punishment.
